At Southcrest we recognize that each child is a blessing from the Lord and we strive to teach a Biblical worldview in order to lead each one to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We acknowledge each child’s God-given abilities and challenge each to reach his/her full potential. We aim to foster spiritual, emotional, academic, and social excellence in each student. We aspire to develop leaders with a servant’s heart to further his kingdom. In Lower Elementary, students grow spiritually, physically, academically and socially in a positive atmosphere.

Students work in small groups and partners often to explore the world around them. The Bible is the center of the academic day as students advance in reading, critical thinking and problem solving. Using whole brain instruction, differentiated reading groups, learning stations, and hands-on activities, children receive a quality education in a caring and nurturing setting. As the year progresses, students become more responsible and independent, working on more projects in class which give the opportunity for creativity and self-guidance.
